Default Ford guy here...

Now that I have your attention! Lifelong Ford guy but recently have started to really appreciate some of the other brands.
Haven't bought a Corvette yet because I really don't know what I like yet but I will!

Welcome to the forum. My recommendation - do your research, see what you like, and make the leap. The water is just fine.

When I was 18 I had Shingles on my upper chest and collar bone area. I had eleven spots or eruptions, whatever they're called. Incredible pain. ******* college doctor said it was caused by having an encounter with a young lady????? During semester break, I went home to my family doc who correctly diagnosed it as Shingles. He attributed it to studying for my first set of final exams, insufficient sleep and some nerves caused by finals. Shortly after that it cleared up.
Still, my current doc said I should get the vaccine so I did.

I like Ford trucks, own them, but give the wife the Mustang for groceries, buy a vette and enjoy an actual sports car made in America ...
